WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, Congressman Matt Rosendale (MT-02) expressed strong opposition to the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) recent mandates that target coal and natural gas plants in Montana. In a statement, Rep. Rosendale criticized the EPA's actions, linking them to President Biden's Green New Deal agenda.

"With this decision, the Radical EPA has waged war against our national security, our economy, and our way of life," Rep. Rosendale stated. He highlighted the potential negative impacts on Montanans and Americans, particularly those reliant on the Colstrip Power Plant in Montana. Rep. Rosendale emphasized the urgency of reversing these regulations, stating, "These extreme regulations must be overturned before it’s too late."

The EPA's mandates have sparked concerns within Montana's fossil fuel industry, with Rep. Rosendale leading the charge against what he views as detrimental policies. The congressman's call to action underscores the significant implications of the EPA's regulations on both the state's economy and its residents.

As the debate over environmental regulations continues, Rep. Rosendale remains steadfast in his opposition to the EPA's new mandates, advocating for a reconsideration of the policies that could impact Montana's energy sector and the livelihoods of its citizens.
